Tiendesitas Bazaar

grace on October 28th, 2008

I didn’t get the chance to update my blog over the weekend because I’ve been busy with our bazaar. This is our first time to join and I find it really tough! From buying the things that you can sell up to checking out your inventory is hard work! Things that go in between are setting up your booth, attending to customers and packing your things at the end of the day. I won’t say we failed our first attempt because our net profit is just break even. I’d rather take it as a learning experience and a challenge. This won’t stop me from joining another one this coming December 20-21! So please do come.

Lessons learned:

Look for things that are unique. It’s not always the price that people look at.
Check out if you have competitors around the area and scout for their prices.
Have a wide range of products available.
As much as possible, don’t want to spend your profit for food. So bring your own!

Hopefully, next year we’ll have our own product line!
